Cyprus was represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 2008 with the song "Femme Fatale", composed by Nikos Evagelou, with lyrics by Vangelis Evangelou, and performed by Evdokia Kadi. The Cypriot participating broadcaster, the Cyprus Broadcasting Corporation (CyBC), organised the national final A Song for Europe in order to select its entry for the contest. The national final featured ten entries, resulting in the selection of "Femme Fatale" performed by Evdokia Kadi at the final on 12 January 2008.
Cyprus was drawn to compete in the second semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest which took place on 22 May 2008. Performing during the show in position 17, "Femme Fatale" was not announced among the 10 qualifying entries of the second semi-final and therefore did not qualify to compete in the final. It was later revealed that Cyprus placed fifteenth out of the 19 participating countries in the semi-final with 36 points.
